Ronnie Corbett and his CBE medal in 2012

Tarbuck said Corbett was a "great guy" and added that the atmosphere would be "very sad for the family and for all his friends".He went on: "He was much loved. Very correct guy, very funny fellow. Disciplinarian - I think that was because he was an officer in the RAF. But he was great company.

"I mean he was a terrific laugh. Dreadful giggler. He used to get me at it when we worked together."
